The problem was, a wrapper-script. Since AVM has a bug in it's c2sendfax
script or in the capi implemantation, I had to use a wrapper-script to
bypass this bug.
The bug is, that facsimiles are marked as unsuccessfull sent even though
they were sent successfull. The script I used, was from Gerhard Brauer and
found on the debian-user-german list. But there was a little problem in it,
as it moves the qfile! I think after moving the qfile, the
permissions/ownership of the file were set from those of the faxuser to
those of uucp. 
By using an edit in place with the 'operatingsystem vi' ;-) the file
maintains it permissions.

Here the wrapper-script

#!/bin/sh

# name it c2sendfax.wrap and place it with rx permissions for uucp:dialout
under #/usr/local/bin 
# don't forget a line in /var/spool/hylafax/config and/or config.c2fax like
# SendFaxCmd:             "/usr/local/bin/c2faxsend.wrap"

/usr/bin/c2faxsend "$@"
rc=$?
eval qfile=\$$#
# in place editing by Guido Hecken
vi -c '%s/^returned:0$/returned:'${rc}'/' -c 'wq' ${qfile}
# don't use these two lines, as they destroy permissions/ownership
# sed 's/^returned:0$/returned:'${rc}'/' $qfile > ${qfile}.new
# mv ${qfile}.new $qfile
exit $rc

Hope this will help somebody, as it costs me a lot of hours of
investigation. :-(

BTW thanks to Gerhard Brauer for his work
